If only I had a Universal Remote. Then I could have fast-forwarded through half this movie. Or better yet, sped up my trip to the theatre and saw the movie I really wanted to see, Nacho Libre. NL was way funnier, especially when you take into account the budget to make it. Jeff Black is way funnier than Adam Sandler. Adam can’t act, and this attempt at drama seems like he is trying to prove otherwise. I think the funniest movie to watch for this year is going to be Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny. Click did start out promising. The first 20 minutes are funny, IF you fast forward through the stupid pet jokes. But I predicted the ending 30 seconds before he got the remote. And as you get closer and closer to the end, it became so clear my prediction was coming. AND the ending was LAME! After he gets the remote, the movie is funny for another 5 minutes. Then it gets very boring with Adam fiddling with tint and colour and language. That was nerdy and slow, and killed the movie momentum. Then someone switched the channel. It turns into Dickens’ Christmas Carol. The writers must have been high on something. They don’t even attempt a joke in the last hour. Tremors is funnier. At best, wait for this to hit the DVD 99 cent shelf and watch it with your remote ready to zap it. My other mistake was trusting the opening weekend rating of this movie on here. It is way over rated.
